"Truth is worse than lies"

The film introduction of "Philomena" reads "The tragic story is wrapped in a comedy appearance, making people feel moved by the interweaving of laughter and tears." After watching this film, I was in a very low mood. The narrative structure of the film is very delicate, the cast of Judi Dench plus Steve Coogan is very strong, and the themes explored in the film are very deep. The film discusses the issue of Western beliefs. Philomena and Martin have different attitudes towards events due to their different religious beliefs. Philomena believed in God, and she finally forgave the nun and the church. She still believed in God and found relief in her belief; while Martin had no faith, and in the process of pursuing the truth of the incident, he became more indignant and more indignant. Stick to the "truth". I'm leaning on Martin's side, even though Philomena thinks "How much does the truth mean to ordinary people? The truth is more ugly than the lie, will my life be full of ugliness because of the truth?", I still don't think so Because the ugliness of the truth is covered up with goodness, there is never any white lie.

    1. Old age is more forgetful, only lovesickness is not forgotten, loved ones and loved ones are the same; 2. JudiDench and Steve Coogan's performances support a warm and restrained film; 3. People have faith in life, but the sentence I couldn't forgive you Really happy; 4. Corrupt films always remember the silly jokes and basic sentiments; 4. The emotional part of the mother and son of the script is more touching, while the religious belief part of the nun is hard to resonate
